I used to ride 5 (complete guess)miles through town and up some huge hill, ill get pics after Christmas if this tread continues . Took me about 30 minutes on 18:12 Gearing , Going the other way took about 25 minutes. I found that as quick as i can pedal is as quick as the bike can go, This did cost me a pair of Zoo Yorks though, as i was slowly descending down the hill i forgot about the peddling, and it was like there was no chain, so off the pedals + bike i flew at 1 in the morning. Not very nice. And i usually arrived at the ex's house boiling and sweating, how nice for her lol. Meh. EDIT: just checked google maps 2.7 mi – about 55 mins, but by car its 15 mins.
